Compared with temperature stability, (5) high linearity to the input magnetic field. 15 As an example of such a magnetic flux gate magnetometer, Patent Document 1 discloses that a magnetometer "having an energization of an alternating current signal applied to an exciting coil" excites a toroidal core composed of a magnetic detecting material to saturation. The magnetic zone's magnetic sensor uses a symmetry of the saturation magnetic flux density excited in the toroidal core to measure the magnetic flux density. Further, Patent Document 2 20 discloses that an excitation current is applied to an exciting coil of a magnetic flux gate formed by winding an exciting coil and a detecting coil in an iron core by an oscillator, and the output of the detecting coil is synchronized by synchronizing the whole and the electric power.

It is to provide a detection circuit with stability and small manufacturing deviation and a saddle/shoulder accumulation degree. The signal of the magnetic sensor that is small enough to be used for the purpose of the invention is to be invented. It is a signal detection circuit of the sensor, which is characterized by the detection of the sensor. The differential amplifier of the output voltage of the coil; the comparison is crying ^ is input to the output of the county reducer, and the output is between the voltages of the (4) phase __ spikes included in the voltage divided by the two, and the digital value of the logic value is taken. a signal; and a counter that counts the number of pulses of the clock in the comparison - the obtained - square logical value _. - Round out = Sample 'The magnetic detection signal of the present invention.

In addition, by using a counter instead of the analog circuit, it is also possible to perform measurement in a short time. In addition, the magnetic == electric discharge mill immediately touches the digitizer of the comparator, so it is difficult to influence the noise or noise. In addition, the amplification of the output voltage is made by the differential 5, so the common-mode noise is one... Zhongjing wants to invent it--is a kind of signal detection circuit based on the magnetic sensor described in the 1st.

The magnetic flux shown in the figure is the closing magnetic force γ axis, three magnetic sensors of each axis; the sensors U, 12, U pass through the dip 12, 13. The magnetic core 1U, the two-crystal soft magnetic material, and the like 121 and 131 made of these magnetic soft magnetic materials are wound around the magnetic coils 112, 122, and 132 and the detection coils 113, 123, and 133. The exciting coils m, m, and 132 are controlled by a mechanism including an excitation side switching circuit 2, a non-inverting amplifier 22, an inverting amplifier 23, an inverter 24, and an operation of controlling the D/A converter 24. The excitation coil 25) is driven by an excitation coil drive circuit. In addition, the output voltages of the detection coils 113, 123, and 133 are processed by a signal detection circuit, and the lung number detection f path includes a detection side_circuit 3A, and a voltage adjustment circuit that adjusts the output voltage to a given voltage level. 32. A differential amplifier 33 that amplifies an output voltage, a hysteresis comparison of a digital signal that outputs a low (L0W) level during a period between two spike-like (1) voltages included in an output voltage, and The counter % of the number of pulses of the clock signal in the period in which the digital signal outputted by 34 (34) is low level is counted. >, the circuit 41 controls the DAC control logic 25. The control circuit 41 receives the count value of the person input by the hacker 35 and stores it in the internal memory 丨5 411. The control circuit 41 is connected to the excitation side switch circuit 21 and the control line 5 of the detection #contact circuit 31. The control circuit 41 controls the on and off of the switch 21 money switch 31 via the control line 51. The control circuit 41 is connected in communication with the microcomputer 71 (external device), and the count value stored in the L-body 411 is appropriately transmitted to the microcomputer. 20 is a daily sequence diagram showing the operation of the magnetic flux gate magnetometer 1 of the present embodiment. Next, the operation of the magnetic flux gate magnetometer 1 will be described based on the timing chart shown in the figure. In the following description, all the contacts of the excitation side switch circuit 21 and the depression circuit 31 are previously turned on (opened). 8 1293124 As shown in the second figure, the start signal (8) is first input from the microcomputer 71 via the bus bar 61 to the control circuit 41. After inputting the measurement start signal, the control circuit 41 next rotates a signal for turning on the contact of the excitation side switching circuit 21 and the detection side switching circuit 31 with the X axis (hereinafter referred to as 5 for the X-axis selection signal). ) (t2). After the input of the X-axis selection signal, the excitation-side switching circuit 21 and the detection-side switching circuit 31 connect the contact of the exciting coil 112 and the detecting coil φ Π3 for measuring the magnetic field in the direction of the x-axis. through. Thus, the excitation side switch circuit 21 selects the excitation coils 112, ίο 122, 132 that carry the drive signal p and the drive signal N, which will be described later. Next, the control circuit 41 outputs a drive enable enable signal (t3) to the DAC control logic 25. After the DAC control logic 25 is input with the drive start enable signal, the DAC data is input to the D/A converter 24. Specifically, first enter the down count data as the DAC resource (t4~t5). By the countdown data, the signal for preventing the high-voltage counter electromotive force which is generated by the φ in the exciting coil 112 from being damaged to the circuit elements such as the in-phase amplifier 22 and the inverting amplifier 23 is loaded immediately before the boosting period to be described later. Next, the DAC control logic 25 outputs the upc〇unt data as DAC data to the D/A converter 24 (t5). Thus, the signals (t5 to t8) of the boosting period of the triangular wave are output from the D/A converter 24. Next, the DAC control logic 25 stops the output of the positive data of the D/A converter 24 in t8, and outputs the countdown data this time. Thus, the signal (t8 to ul) of the step-down period of the triangular wave is output from the D/A converter 24. Next, the DAC control logic 25 stops the output of the countdown data to the d/a converter % 9 ! 293124 in t11, and outputs the positive data. By the countdown data, the signal for preventing the high-voltage counter electromotive force generated in the exciting coil from being damaged to the circuit elements such as the in-phase amplifier 22 and the inverting amplifier 23 is loaded immediately after the above-mentioned pressing period. The drive signal of the D/A converter 24 is supplied to the non-inverting input terminal of the non-inverting amplifier 22. The Vref signal of the D/A converter 24 is supplied to the non-inverting input terminal of the inverting amplifier 23. The inverting input terminal of the non-inverting amplifier 22 is negatively fed back to the output of the in-phase amplifier 22. Further, the inverting input terminal of the inverting amplifier 23 is input to the output of the non-inverting amplifier 22. Thus, 10 outputs a signal indicated by a solid line (hereinafter referred to as a drive signal P) in the second diagram in which the output signal of the D/A converter 24 is amplified from the non-inverting amplifier 22, and further, from the inverting amplifier 23 A signal indicated by a broken line in the second diagram in which the amplitude of the drive signal P is inverted is output (hereinafter referred to as a drive signal N). The drive signal P output from the non-inverting amplifier 22 is loaded into one of the two terminals of the exciting coil 112. Further, the drive signal N output from the inverting amplifier 23 is loaded to the other of the two terminals of the exciting coil 112. Therefore, the excitation coil 112 is loaded with a differential voltage of the drive signal P and the drive signal N (hereinafter, this voltage is referred to as an excitation voltage). 20 As shown in the second figure, the spike-like voltage (t7, t10) generated between the terminals of the detecting coil 113 is based on the B-H curve (b: magnetic flux density, H: magnetic field) of the magnetic sensor n. The voltage of the electromotive force generated in the unsaturated interval. The time interval (Τχ) of the two peak-like voltages in t7 and t10 changes in accordance with the external magnetic field Δ11 loaded in the magnetic sensor 11. Also, by measuring the time interval (Τχ) at which two peak-like voltages are rotated, it is possible to obtain information on the intensity of the external magnetic field ΔΗ and the like. "The spike-like voltage generated in the coil 113 is exchanged to a predetermined level by the voltage adjusting circuit 32, and then input to the differential amplifier 33:5 and amplified. The output voltage amplified by the differential amplifier 33 It is input to the hysteresis comparator 34. The hysteresis comparator 34 outputs a low level during the period in which the adjacent pointed voltages included in the output voltage are clamped, and is high in the other period (fgh Level digital signal. In the initial state, the hysteresis comparator "transforms 1 〇 ^ = 甩 flat. Thereafter, the hysteresis comparator 34 starts the output of the low level (t7) when the spike voltage due to the polarity inversion of the exciting voltage in t6 is input. Further, the hysteresis comparator 34 cuts the output high level (t10) when a spike-like voltage due to the polarity inversion of the excitation voltage in (5) is input. The digital signal output by the magnetic enthalpy than the parent state 34 is input to the counter 35. The § decimator 35 is input with a clock signal, and the counter 35 counts the number of pulses of the clock signal during the period in which the digital signal output from the hysteresis comparator: 34 is at a low level. The digital signal goes high, and after the pulse number is completed, the counter 35 outputs the count value to the control circuit 41. The control unit 20 41 stores the input count value in the memory 411. Next, the control circuit 41 turns off the dynamic start enable signal input to the DAc control logic 25 (tl3). Further, the control circuit 41 stops the input (U4) of the spindle-side hammer circuit of the excitation-side switching circuit 21 and the detection-side switching circuit 31. In this way, the contact 乂 and the control circuit 41 of the excitation coil U2 and the detection coil 113 for measuring the magnetic material of the material 2: 2,123,124 are used to electrically switch the excitation side switch to Y1 (t5). By starting the processing of the Y-axis performed during the period of the γ-axis in the γ-axis, the processing of the ί axis performed during the period of XNEW == r°M and tl7 to t18 is also It is the same as the case of the χ axis. Surprise Ζ After the above operation, the X-axis, γ #, and 7 memory are 4U, and the history is followed: the averaging values of the two-axis and Z-axis are saved to the interrupt of the writing completion. The transmission from the Γn circuit 41 will notify the passage of the count value, and the read request is transmitted by 彳. The eight sides H of the body 4n are stored in the memory of the control circuit 41: the strength measurement of the outer ^ 15 . _, Tixian material magnetic field Δ Η Η Η : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月 月The signal used to drive the excitation line m. Therefore, in comparison with the emotional ratio of the Laiby circuit, ί = 1, Γ generates a highly accurate and stable drive signal: in addition, the deviation can be suppressed by using the digital circuit. Further, in the magnetic flux door magnetometer i of the present embodiment, the plurality of excitation=rings 112, 122, and 132 are driven by the same D/A converter 24. Therefore, it is possible to carry a uniform excitation power to the exciting coils 112, 122, and 132, respectively, and 12 20 1293124 = deviation of the rotation. In addition, by making the circuits common, it is possible to reduce the number of components and the area of the wafer in the case of integration. "In addition, the magnetic flux gate magnetometer 1 of the present embodiment can increase the length of the step-up period (6-turn) of the drive number and the step-down period (t8 to til) with high precision by using a number of circuits, thereby improving the measurement. Accuracy. If necessary, in order to correct the influence of the erroneous sounds and/or the gaps included in the time interval (Tx, Ty, Tz), it is necessary to measure the length of the entire drive signal in the case of the analog circuit. , month b 1 is a small-sized and low-power magnetic flux door magnetometer 1. In addition, the magnetic flux gate magnetometer 1 of the present embodiment measures two spike-shaped electric power by counting cry = day ==__ row count ' Compared with the case of using analog circuit, it is sufficient to measure the accuracy. In addition, the time interval (TX, Ty, Tz)... 丨 丨 μ 舰 舰 舰 舰 7 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 Β In the case of the generalized, the a/d converter with a large area occupied by the integrated solar disk has a small area occupied by the azure magnetometer i. °°, and this is enough for a small magnetic flux. Idle gate (Tx, Tbu y, t = wave and filter combination time The gap accuracy requires a silk scarf, and the gorge is carried out in (10) in order to increase the measured value. In addition, this also suppresses the magnetic flux gate magnetometer comparator 33 of the present embodiment to pass the detecting coil U3 123. The output voltages of the magnetic spaces 113, 123, and 133 are digitized in the early stage 13 1293124, and thus are hardly affected by temperature or noise. Further, in the magnetic flux gate magnetometer of the present embodiment, the plurality of detecting coils 113, 123, The processing of the turn-off voltage of 133 is performed by the same differential amplifier 33 and the same hysteresis comparator 34. Therefore, the variation of the measured values between the five detection coils 、3, 123, and 133 is small. By using the same circuit to detect the output voltages of the coils 113, 123, and 133, the number of components and the area of the wafer can be reduced during the integration. "In addition, the magnetic flux gate magnetometer of the present embodiment. In the case, the amplification of the output voltage 10 uses the differential amplifier 33, so that the common-mode noise (the hair y 7 _F / 彳 long) is less mixed. In addition, the detection coils 113, 123, The grounding of the common mode noise can be suppressed by the above. However, an embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, but the description of the above embodiments is merely for facilitating the understanding of the present invention, and does not constitute the present invention. The present invention can be modified and improved without departing from the gist thereof, and the present invention also includes equivalents thereof. For example, a low-pass filter can be provided at the rear of the D/A converter 24, and the inverter 24 can be provided. The output drive signal is smoothed. Further, the generation of the drive signal can be generated instead of the D/a converter 24, 2, for example, by a Sc (switched capacitor) integrator composed of the structure shown in the third figure. The SC integrator 80 shown in the figure is composed of four switches SW1 to SW4, a capacitor C1, and an integrating circuit 81 using an operational amplifier. The switch SW capacitors cn and SW4 are connected in series, swi is connected to the DC power supply vin, and the output of SW4 is input to the inverting input terminal 55 P1 of the operational amplifier constituting the integral 14 1293124 circuit 81. A switch SW2 whose one end is grounded is connected between them. Capacitor crying C1 sen Off SW4 is connected to the switch SW3 with grounding. w 讦 〇 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在The interaction becomes the state shown in the fourth figure U), (1). By this t, as shown in the figure (figure u), it is possible to obtain the slope of the slope, and drive the "number. In addition, in the case of the sign in the step-down period in which the drive signal is generated, the switches SW1 to SW4 The on-off is performed at a predetermined interval At2 (butterfly drive mode), and the interaction becomes a state shown in the fifth diagrams (a) and (b). Thus, as shown in the sixth diagram (b), The drive signal that is stepped down in a stepped manner at a constant slope, and the drive signal output from the SC integrator 80 is passed through the low-pass filter and smoothed, whereby a linear drive signal can be obtained. In the case of using a well-known digital circuit, it is possible to accurately match a ti and Δί2, and it is possible to generate an accurate triangular wave whose height is consistent with the slope of the step-down period during the step-down period. Therefore, even when the SC integrator 80 is used, Also in the same manner as in the case of the D/A converter 24, a magnetic flux gate type magnetometer 1 capable of performing magnetic field measurement with high precision can be realized. 15 20 1293124 [Schematic Description of the Drawing] The first figure shows an embodiment as the present invention. get on FIG. 2 is a timing chart showing the operation of the magnetic five-flux gate magnetometer 1 described as an embodiment of the present invention.
